Pro Tips for the Perfect Rainbow Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs

  1. Soak Wooden Skewers: Always soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  2. Even-Sized Cuts: Cut chicken, pineapple, and vegetables into similar sizes so they cook evenly.
  3. Preheat the Grill: A hot grill sears the outside and locks in juicy flavor.
  4. Separate Marinade Portions: Use half for marinating and keep the rest fresh for basting at the end.
  5. Don’t Overcrowd: Leave small gaps between pieces on the skewers for even cooking and better charring.
